aspen is "safe" but not at all ideal for a Nile. you would be MUCH better off using a moister substrate, i would recommend a good soil, and in a distant second place, cypress mulch.
you can read about the uses of both at our site, check out the FAQ.

Aspen is dry and no good for monitors, cyprus works for a few people but wood chips are for flowerbeds, your monitor wants dirt. After seeing and keeping a monitor in deep digable dirt you will never go back.
